Life of a rocker


Mark Oliver Everett or E, lead singer and guitarist for the rock group Eels, wrote an autobiography called "Things the Grandchildren Should Know." The book hit bookstores on January 17. Part of the book dealt with the deaths of his parents and sister. Everett's music is as somber and yet at the same time eye-opening as his book. Some of his songs include "Novocaine for the Soul" and "I'm Going to Stop Pretending That I Didn't Break Your Heart." The group recently released two new albums on January 21 with Universal called Meet the Eels and Useless Trinkets.
